Generalized Global Symmetries of Theories: Part II
Sergei Gukov, Po-Shen Hsin, Du Pei
We continue the investigation of symmetries and anomalies of theories obtained by compactifying 6d SCFTs on an internal manifold . We extend the notion of "polarizations…
Gauge Theory and Skein Modules
Du Pei
We study skein modules of 3-manifolds by embedding them into the Hilbert spaces of 4d super-Yang-Mills theories. When the 3-manifold has reduced holonomy, we present a…
E-Strings and Four-Manifolds
Du Pei, David H. Wu
We investigate the physics of the E-string theory and its compactifications as well as their applications to four-dimensional topology. In particular, we compute the partition func…
On mixed 't Hooft anomalies of emergent symmetries
Wei Gu, Du Pei, Xingyang Yu
In this paper, we investigate the dynamical constraints imposed on the UV theory when it develops an emergent symmetry in the infrared with mixed 't Hooft anomalies. We demonstrate…
